Ouch!  That was definitely a new lesson in suffering.  Cougar is one heck of a beautiful climb though and I'm glad I finally made it down to Issaquah to try it out.

My biggest problem is that I have relatively little experience with longer stretches at a low cadence, so I was really feeling it as the climb wore on.  I labored pretty much all the way up the steep parts of Montreux.  I guess some low cadence drills should be in order during the time indoors.

I almost skipped the little spur up Pinnacle since I was pretty whipped after coming up Montreux, but I'm glad I did it.  What a great view on a mostly clear day!

Wir, I'd say that Cougar is kind of similar to the climb up the "back" side of Lord Hill, except twice as longer and the "pitchy" sections are worse.
